Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick was created as a home for the charitable Guild of the Holy Trinity and St George. Take afternoon tea in the tearoom then visit the delightful Master's Garden and the Museum of the Queen's Own Hussars.

Few places have as famous a son as Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare (aka "the Bard"). Together with museums dedicated at his birthplace and his wife's house, this delightful Cotswold town is home to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Since 1409, Warwickshire's majestic Coughton Court has been the home of the Throckmorton family. With close connections to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, the house holds a special place in English history, and stands in 25 acres of splendid grounds.
